User Tutorial

Logging In

By default, every Smolder installation comes with this pre-existing account

Username: admin
Password: qa_rocks

Simply click on the login link, fill in
this username and password and you're ready to go. We suggest that the first thing you do is
change this password to something other than the default.

You can change your password by clicking on the preferences
link.

Creating and Managing User Accounts

Smolder is designed to allow multiple users to work on multiple projects.
The first step to get going is to create developer accounts. Since the admin
account is special, you don't want to do your normal work with it, so we'll create
a new account.

After logging in with the 'admin' account, click on the users sub-menu
under the admin link in the top navigation bar.

Click on the Add New User link.

Fill in the required fields, giving the developer an intial password (which should be changed
by the developer when they login for the first time)

Click the Add button when you're finished.

You can return at any time to this screen to perform the following tasks

Edit any developer's information

Delete a developer from the system

Reset a developer's password should they forget theirs

Creating Projects

After you've added all of the users that you initially need, it's time to
create some projects. Creating projects is almost identical to creating Users
so you should feel right at home.

After logging in with the 'admin' account (or another account with admin privileges),
click on the projects sub-menu under the admin link in
the top navigation bar.

Click on the Add New Project link.

Fill in the required information.

Click the Add button when you're finished.

You can add as many projects as you need. After you're done you can always come back to this
screen to perform the following tasks

Edit any project's information

Delete a project from the system

Assigning Users to Projects

Now that we've created some users and projects we can assign those
users to the appropriate project and pick the administrators of
those projects to control project specific preferences.

After logging in with the 'admin' account (or another account with admin privileges),
click on the projects sub-menu under
the admin link in the top navigation bar.

Click on the Devs link of the appropriate project.

You will see a drop-down menu with the list of all the available users who don't
belong to this project and below that the list of users who do.

To assign a developer to a project, select the developer's name in the box at the
top and click on Add User to Project

To remove a developer from a project, click on the Remove button
in the row where the developer's name appears.

To pick a project's administrator, click on the checkbox in the
Admins? column of the already assigned user.

You can return at any time to this screen to make adjustments to project assignment and
to change a project's administrator.
